 fawcett publications fawcett crest imprint mmpb first printing, not first mmpb edition

cover art unsigned, uncredited; seen attributed to dean ellis, but no justification for this seen
cover price 95¢
224pp. (check) including titles, indicia etc, end pp. advertising


at least twelve near-identical printings with rising cover prices, cat# alpha prefix changing with cover price:

P2261 $1.25

6/1977 Q2264 0-449-22648-4 $1.50 no printing number given
publication date taken from locus 202, 7/1977

Q2648 $1.50

0-449-23805-9 $1.75 cat# on cover given as 2-3805-9 which suggests it was adapted from X23805 (X being fawcett publications' cat# letter prefix to indicate $1.75 cover price as their cataloguing system was changing to being isbn-based)
eleventh printing by indicia publishing history printing number line: 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11

10/1979 0-449-24243-9 $1.95
twelfth printing by indicia publishing history printing number line: 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12
publication date taken from locus 226, 11/1979
